Old Venice knew who Su Rui was referring to, so he wasn't too nervous; he just chuckled a few times.

"Don't worry, Little Venice will behave herself."

He had better be, otherwise what awaits him is not a warning but direct death.

Su Rui nodded. After finishing her conversation with Lappland, Vulpisfoglia returned to the Venice Family mansion. Although she knew Honeysuckle was familiar with the place, Su Rui still marked the route in her Scanning Vision.

Gently pushing open the door, after greeting Old Venice, Vulpisfoglia patted Su Rui on the shoulder and looked at Old Venice, saying:

"We have other plans, so we won't bother you any longer."

"... The Venice Family is also safe, there's no need to be so vigilant. I'll keep an eye on that rule-breaker for you."

Old Venice glanced at Su Rui and the Suzuran of the valley in Su Rui's arms, still trying to persuade them to stay, but neither Su Rui nor Vulpisfoglia intended to stay.

"We won't stay long; we'll come back to see you again later."

After saying goodbye to Old Venice, Vulpisfoglia, along with Su Rui and Suzuran, left the study and returned to the parking lot in the back garden.

Before Vulpisfoglia could leave, Su Rui stopped her, saying, "Don't rush, let's change cars."

Vulpisfoglia paused for a moment, then a cold glint flashed in her eyes: 'Was the bomb already here when we were sitting in this car?'

To prevent Suzuran of the Valley from knowing these things, Vulpisfoglia used direct, telepathic communication with Su Rui.

"Of course not. If there had really been a bomb at that time, I would have blown that female driver's head off."

Su Rui's unabashed remark about the Suzuran in her arms made Vulpisfoglia frown. She glanced at the lily of the Suzuran's somewhat curious gaze, then looked at Su Rui with disapproval.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I want Suzuran to be safe, but how can she protect herself if she doesn't even know where the danger is coming from?"

As Su Rui spoke, she pulled Vulpisfoglia back a few steps and highlighted the guys she had already marked again:

"Keep a close eye on Little Suzuran; that's why I told you to avoid taking the car from Syracuse."

With that, Su Rui snapped her fingers, and the car they had been riding in burst into bright flames. With a loud "boom!", the car turned into a pile of burning debris.

Suzuran trembled from the sudden explosion, instinctively pressing her ears down and leaning against Su Rui's chest, her big eyes fixed on the exploding car in the distance.

"Does someone want to hurt us?"

"Yes, so we should retaliate in kind and punish the bad guys."

Su Rui spoke, she turned to look at Vulpisfoglia, then led her to another car not far away:

"Let's go. There are no bombs in this car, and no other problems. Let's find a place to stay first, and then we can think about how to deal with our enemies."

Vulpisfoglia shook her head and reached out to grab Su Rui's wrist:

"I'll go straight back. You drive and find a place for Little Lisa to rest."

"... Okay, I'll assist you with Scanning Vision."

Su Rui nodded and led Suzuran to another car:

"Then I wish you good fortune in your military endeavors!"

Su Rui winked at Vulpisfoglia, then pulled Suzuran towards the car, placed Suzuran in the passenger seat, and put the Rapid-Fire Gun on her lap before starting the car.

"Keep your staff in your hand, you never know when we might encounter danger while driving."

Su Rui glanced at Suzuran beside her and handed her her staff.

With the intelligence support provided by the Scanning Vision, Su Rui would never encounter any danger, but it's also a good thing to teach Suzuran to be vigilant.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be careful!"

Suzuran nodded solemnly, gripping her staff in her hand. After fastening her seatbelt, she cautiously scanned the street scene, fearing that something might happen and ready to retaliate with her staff at any moment.

After glancing at Suzuran's nervous expression, Su Rui drove towards the hotel in the very center of Wolumonde.

At least in this hotel, it's a bit quieter. The family members generally don't dare to come to this kind of place and cause trouble, after all, it's close to Mrs. Sicilian.

As for this car, it was only temporarily borrowed. After all, the Venice Family is a large and powerful family, and a car had just exploded in the family's yard. In addition, with Vulpisfoglia about to take action, things are bound to get chaotic.

After things got chaotic, they lost all interest in going to Su Rui's place to get the car back.

After parking the car and handing the keys to the waiter, Su Rui took Suzuran's hand and walked into the hotel, where they booked a suite at the front desk.

On the other side, Vulpisfoglia watched as Su Rui drove away, gave her a safety signal, and then drew her sword.

My own safety is one thing, but the safety of Su Rui and Suzuran is threatened, which is the most important thing.

Now that the explosion has already happened, Vulpisfoglia has no interest in listening to any explanations; she's going to take off that Little Venice's head.

As Su Rui Vulpisfoglia to take action, she marked all the enemies:

'I've already gathered all the evidence. Even if the Venice Family wants to question you, we can just throw this evidence in their faces.'

Vulpisfoglia nodded. With no worries, she didn't hesitate at all and walked into the Venice Family mansion. She was greeted by a person marked by Su Rui who deliberately bumped into her knife.

Volume 7, Chapter 421: Pretending to be stupid is useless.

"Lady Vulpisfoglia, what happened...?"

Before Lupo could even finish his explanation, his eyes wide open, he was pierced through the heart by Vulpisfoglia's sword. Vulpisfoglia Vulpisfoglia disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why she would suddenly attack him, an "innocent person."

But that's how the Mafia works; there's no need for explanations. Once they have evidence, they can act as long as they're confident, and no one will make things too difficult for a victor.

He pulled the blade from Lupo's hand and looked at Lupo, who was standing there stunned and somewhat at a loss... So there are people in the family who don't understand things either.

Vulpisfoglia glared helplessly at the dazed Lupo: "I'm here to see Little Venice, this is none of your business, so get lost!"

"Yes, yes, Ms. Vulpisfoglia, I'll be right there."

Lupo, who was glared at by Vulpisfoglia, nodded quickly and then turned and ran away.

As he moved aside, Vulpisfoglia had already begun her journey towards her next destination.

There are three targets: Little Venice, the person Little Venice sent to plant the bomb, and finally, the goal is to avoid being discovered by Old Venice, or at least not to be seen when taking action.

The others are just small fry, all aligned with Little Venice. If they dare to obstruct Vulpisfoglia on the way, it's only natural that they'll be dealt with.

With light steps, Vulpisfoglia ascended the steps in the hall, encountering almost no obstacles along the way. A few people did attempt to draw their weapons to stop her as she headed towards Little Venice.

At Su Rui's prompting, Vulpisfoglia parried the daggers coming at her at close range and severed the opponent's wrist with her sharp weapon. Without even turning her head, she simply twisted her wrist, the blade spinning in her hand, and with a flash of cold light, she cut down all those who tried to attack her.

Su Rui's voice echoed in Vulpisfoglia's mind again: 'By the way, I've blocked electronic intelligence here, so as long as you take care of everyone who sees us, that Little Venice won't know what happened. He'll probably think the explosion killed us all and is happily rehearsing his lines to deal with Old Venice.'

"He won't have that chance anymore," Vulpisfoglia said coldly, flicking her wrist to wipe the blood off the blade, and strode toward the floor where Little Venice was.

At this moment, in the Scanning Vision shown by Su Rui, Little Venice was in his room, drinking tea and chatting with his subordinates about life as the head of the Venice Family.

His smug expression suggested that he was less concerned with how to explain things to Old Venice and more certain that Old Venice wouldn't do anything to him, so he didn't even bother to think of an explanation.

But he never expected that Vulpisfoglia would appear before him, did he?

Arriving at the door of Little Venice, Vulpisfoglia kicked the door, sending it flying into the room.

The guy named Lupo, who was facing the door, was sent flying by the door.

Everyone in the room stood up in surprise, especially Little Venice, who stared in alarm at the door that had been kicked open.

"Ingrid! It's you! Shouldn't you be..."

"Shouldn't they have been blown up already?" Vulpisfoglia continued Little Venice's words, "Unfortunately, you are Little Venice now, and you will always be Little Venice."

"What are you saying?! You...!"

Little Venice seemed to want to be cursed at, but Vulpisfoglia a cold face, had already rushed in front of him while they were talking. The guards, confidants, and subordinates around Little Venice were of no use at all. They didn't even have time to react before they saw a flash of cold light, and Little Venice clutched his neck and fell to the ground.

To make sure he was really dead, Vulpisfoglia plunged her sword into his head right in front of her men.

Only then did the henchmen begin to realize what was happening. Some tried to escape, some wanted to beg for mercy, and two who couldn't see the situation clearly even tried to draw their weapons and attack Vulpisfoglia.

However, before they could make a complete move, Su Rui had already marked their intentions in Vulpisfoglia's mind. "These two are the biggest threat; you can deal with the others slowly."

In a split second, before she could respond to Su Rui, Vulpisfoglia turned and swung her sword, severing the wrists of the two men who were trying to draw their weapons, just like Su Rui had.

First, ensure you are not injured, then take the enemy's life.

While the other party was still staring blankly at their severed wrist, Vulpisfoglia's blade was already upon them.

As two streaks of blood reappeared in the room, the others finally realized what was happening.

"Lady Vulpisfoglia, I surrender! I can tell you everything Little Venice has done, please don't kill me!"

As one of the guys, who had already huddled in a corner, begged for mercy, the others, realizing their mistake, quickly copied him, crouching down with their heads in their hands, and then begging for forgiveness as well.

"Me too, I'm open to talks! I'm also willing to surrender!"

'We don't need to let them get away with this, right? Besides, I have all the evidence you need.'

Su Rui's voice rang in Vulpisfoglia's mind. In fact, even without Su Rui's reminder, Vulpisfoglia had no intention of letting go of these people in front of her.

Having managed to sit next to Little Venice, there was no need to let them go even if they begged for mercy.

Those who were a little slower to react were cut down by Vulpisfoglia before they could even squat down and beg for mercy.

The remaining few still held onto a sliver of hope, wishing that after dealing with those slow-reacting guys, Vulpisfoglia would stop bothering with them.

Then they saw Vulpisfoglia block the doorway and swing her sword again at the guy closest to her.

Even crouching down with her head covered in defense didn't prevent Vulpisfoglia from plunging her sword into the enemy's chest.

It was only at this point that they realized Vulpisfoglia had no intention of leaving any survivors, and they attempted to resist.

However, before they could react, their knees were cleaved by Vulpisfoglia's sword, they fell to the ground, and then their hearts were pierced right through them. Their eyes widened, and they died in disbelief.

'It's done, these guys are dead, but the one who planted the bomb hasn't been taken care of yet.'

Su Rui scanned the room with his Scanning Vision and found that everyone in the room was dead. Even if there were some kind of ability to revive them, people with their heads shattered couldn't possibly think anymore.

Vulpisfoglia nodded and followed the route given by Su Rui outside. Unexpectedly, the person who planted the bomb was not one of Little Venice's confidants, but just a peripheral member.

Volume 7, Chapter 422: Lappland is not ready yet.

From the explosion to Su Rui driving away, and then to Vulpisfoglia wiping out Little Venice and his men, everything actually happened within five minutes.

At this moment, Old Venice had only just realized that an explosion had occurred in the courtyard and sent people to find out what was going on.

Vulpisfoglia was ready to finish off the last person and then leave.

"I've already marked the names of those men Old Venice sent out to scout the area. Follow the route I give you, and you can avoid them."

Vulpisfoglia glanced at the route marked by Su Rui in her field of vision and nodded: 'I understand...'

'You seem to have something to say? Have you encountered a problem?' Su Rui noticed that Vulpisfoglia seemed a little puzzled.

'I don't know that family member, and I have no grudges or conflicts of interest with him. Why would he accept this job?'

"... I think it's just that Little Venice is an idiot. Doesn't he even bother to screen people when he's choosing them? This bomb planter is just a small fry. Would he dare refuse Little Venice's request?"

Su Rui's explanation made a lot of sense, Vulpisfoglia knew this too: 'Perhaps I overestimated Little Venice.'

'You definitely overestimated him. You could have dealt with this nuisance a long time ago. Even without me, you were perfectly capable of doing so. It's simply that you trusted people from the same family too much.'

Su Rui scolded Vulpisfoglia impatiently, "You need to learn to be decisive and ruthless, understand? When it's time to make a decision, you need to be absolutely resolute!"

"Really?" Vulpisfoglia smiled, avoiding the patrolling family members in the bustling Venice Family courtyard as she asked Su Rui:

'What would you do if your parents were brainwashed?'

"Is that even a question? Following the usual anime formula, the protagonist usually agonizes over being beaten for a long time before finally snapping or having a change of heart, fighting back against their parents, and only after defeating them do they realize that simply taking down the person with their 'Great Dao' technique will break the control."

Su Rui paused for a moment, then said smugly, "I'm not one of those indecisive protagonists; I'll just take action! I'll knock them out and take them back. If they want to listen to me properly, they can; if not, I'll just beat them up again."

... Why does Su Rui sound so happy? Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but feel a little helpless, so she changed the subject of her question:

'What if it were me and Suzuran who were being controlled? Would you attack us directly?'

'Then this matter needs to be considered differently.'

Su Rui paused for a moment. "With my Scanning Vision, finding the controller is quite simple. Just take out the control device or the person controlling it. Besides, with me here, you can't possibly be controlled."

'Why aren't we talking about taking action now?' A mocking smile crept onto Vulpisfoglia's lips. Su Rui's reaction was just too amusing.

'Ahem... there's a reason for this, let me organize my thoughts in a moment...'

Su Rui tried to think about it for a moment, but then couldn't figure it out, so she gave up struggling. "Fine, I just want to beat them up, so I'll do it without holding back. As long as they're okay, the worst that can happen is that they'll be in pain for a while."

'So that's how it is.'

Vulpisfoglia was amused by Su Rui's reaction, but in order not to anger Su Rui, she simply kept smiling and tried not to laugh out loud. Following Su Rui's directions, she found the person who had planted the bomb.
